Still looking for a college basketball roster spot? You’re not alone. Thousands of players miss early signing periods — but that doesn’t mean it’s over.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to get recruited late in the game — and where to find real schools still recruiting at the NCAA, NAIA, and JUCO levels.
✅ Section 1: Why You Might Still Have a Shot
-
Coaches recruit until their roster is full
-
Injuries, transfers, academic issues = surprise openings
-
